Title
Motion 25-190, approving Amendment #8 to the Puget Sound Taxpayer Accountability Act (PSTAA) Interlocal Agreement with Everett Community College
body
DEPARTMENT: Human Services
ORIGINATOR: Mellissa Hiatt
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Lacey Harper 4/8/25
PURPOSE: Council approval of amendment to the PSTAA Interlocal Agreement Services and Expenditure Plan with Everett Community College to approve changes from the early learning community partner, ChildStrive, to the early learning community partner, Connect Casino Road (CCR).
BACKGROUND: The PSTAA was created as an amendment to the 2015 State Transportation Revenue Package by the Washington State Legislature and is funded by a percentage of sales and use taxes collected from Sound Transit construction projects. Snohomish County Council outlined additional guidance for use of PSTAA funds collected in the Snohomish County subarea in its Motion 20-553, and updated guidance in its Amended Motion 21-089 and Amended Motion 22-282.
Everett Community College PSTAA Agreement EL-21-80-07-052(6) was approved 08/21/2024 via Motion 24-303 for the period 9/1/2024 to 8/31/2025. EL-21-80-07-052(7) was approved 01/13/2025 by the Executive and included PSTAA 2023-2024 reallocation funds in the amount $25,401.38 for a total of $310,829.16.
Ordinance 22-072 requires that any substantial amendment to the annual services and expenditure plans be submitted to Council for approval by motion. This ILA Amendment (8) modifies the 2024-2025 Services and Expenditure Plan to reflect a change in the early learning community partner. Childcare services will be provided through a new early learning community partner, Connect Casino Road, due to childcare services no longer being offered by ChildStrive. The PSTAA ILA amount remains unchanged for a total amount of $310,829.16. Because this is a substantial change to the Services Plan, Council approval is required.
